As the Association kicked off its 2007-08 campaign last night many Cavs fans including yours truly was wondering what does this season hold for our reigning Eastern Conference champs. Oh boy, what a difference a night makes.

Brian Windhorst, Beacon Journal
Branson Wright, Cleveland Plain Dealer
And Chad Ford of ESPN had this to say.

A friendly wager…part 3

Well, I have indeed found a taker for this week’s post-swap wager. Brats and Beer is a Wisconsin sports site that covers the Badgers, Packers and Cyclones. They are willing to participate in the friendly wager this week. Actually, I’m not sure its friendly this time. Check out the email I received notifying me they [...]

What about the wager?

Some of you have been asking about the wager we had with there is no name on my jersey. The post was delivered, and so we shall be patient and wait for them to format the post to their style. UPDATE: The post is up.
The next question- will there be a wager with a Wisconsin [...]

The King and His Court Start Defense of the Eastern Crown Tomorrow

 Halftime Adjustments’ basketball guru Pat Glasser is optimistic about the Cavs chances to win another Conference crown. Let’s hope he’s right!

With the NBA season tipping off tomorrow against Dallas, so does the quest of the Cleveland Cavaliers to defend their Eastern Conference title. The defending conference champs have a slightly different look as the approach the start of the [...]

Carmen Ohio, a capella

Buckeye Commentary brought to our attention that the Ohio State band did not travel to Penn State on Saturday. According to Buckeye lineman Kirk Barton the reason is because the last time the band went to Happy Valley, they were pelted with all types of objects, some that may have included human [...]

Browns overcome early deficit, penalties to beat Rams

File that one under ‘we’ll take it’. The Browns won ugly, but they won a game on the road for the first time this season, and they won consecutive games for the first time since 2003. They overcame an early 14 point hole en route to a 27-20 victory.

“Overrated” Buckeyes down right offensive

Now that was quite a performance from the Buckeye offense. Touchdown drives of 80, 87 and 91 yards in that noisy stadium sure impressed me. 200 rushing yards, 253 passing yards against Conner and “Linebacker U”. Still not impressed? How about 0 punts? How about 12 for 16 on third down? Wow. Great game [...]

Tick…tick…tick…

Here’s hoping Tressel and the Buckeyes have to bust out Carmen Ohio after tonight’s game against Penn State! Go Buckeyes!!

The bet is in, Halftime Adjustments vs There is No Name on My Jersey

The wager, part 2… is on!

There is no name on my jersey has agreed to put a guest post on the line for Saturday’s showdown in Happy Valley. We’ll be taking the Buckeyes and the top ranked defense in the nation. Even though snow isn’t in the forecast, expect white-out conditions at Beaver stadium. Throw [...]

The state of the Browns

The bye week has come and gone. Now the Browns prepare for the stretch drive. They sit at 3-3, and have some very winnable games coming up. This week they play the winless St. Louis Rams. This Rams team has certainly been one of the bigger disappointments of the NFL so far. That being said, [...]

New links in the Blogroll…

There are a few new friends in the Blogroll. Obviously we added Ghosts of Wayne Fontes because of our friendly wager with them last week. They have quality stuff over there, and even though they are from a certain northern state, they are decent guys as well.
For some reason we never had Juiced Sports Blog [...]

A friendly wager part 2?

Yes Ohio State fans, I think we may have a recurring wager. This week the Buckeyes travel to Happy Valley to take on Penn State, and we are going to extend the post-swap wager with a Penn State site. After doing a little research for the What they are saying post, I have decided to [...]

What they are saying about Ohio State vs Penn State

Just thought we would do a little poking around the net and see what the nation is saying about the big game in Happy Valley this Saturday. Let’s start with those close to Penn State.
50 Yard Lion wrote a clever little song. Isn’t that nice.
Black Shoe Diaries thinks the player to watch out for is [...]

Seriously, is this the plan?

Excuse me, Mr. Ferry. I have to ask you a question- Is this it? Is this the team that we are going to battle with?

Get ready to see this frequently. This is LeBron having to tell one of his teammates what to do. Remember how every year LeBron has come out and called Larry Hughes [...]
